Progress Report I
as of 4/6/04
Authoring program chosen: Macromedia Director MX
From our storyboard feedback, it was deemed necessary to increase the interactivity and simulation components of the program. The following changes were devised:
- buttons on the bottom of the screen should enable the user to change:
LOAD, MATERIALS, SIZE
- From these, the LOAD would include a person, a car, a tank or elephant
- From these, the MATERIALS would include wood, chocolate, glass, steel
- From these, the SIZE would include S, M, L
- a button would activate scenarios where the user would be forced to guess whether a certain LOAD + MATERIAL + SIZE for a bridge would be feasible (i.e. does the bridge support the load?)
.
- the in-between screen questions would remain
.
- the goal is to have 2 historically significant bridges from each of the 3 types (arch, beam, suspension).
What needs to be done:
- a mathematical model for each of the 3 bridge types as yet to be devised, the obstacle being that faculty help (from the Engineering Department) is needed.
Division of labor thus far:
- Jason: webpage, art, interface (including quizzing questions, title page, etc.)
- Erin: coding - animation
- Diana: coding - bridge modelling
